Washington, July 7:
US President Donald Trump on Monday said that Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky want to end their war as Moscow launched a fresh wave of attacks on Kyiv, killing at least 21 people..
“President Putin wants it to end. I will tell you that very strongly. Good call. And President Zelensky actually wants it to end now, and we’re going to be going to NATO, and we’re going to be talking about it,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The US President was interacting with reporters at the Oval Office after ringing the opening bells for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq to launch Trump Accounts for children.
Trump held separate calls with Putin and Zelensky over the weekend to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, which is now in its fifth year.
While talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump repeated his claim that he ended eight wars, including the one between India and Pakistan, which could have witnessed the use of nuclear weapons.
India has consistently denied all claims about any third-party intervention during the conflict with Pakistan in May 2025.
